You could query using DoH:
#curl -H 'accept: application/dns-json' 'https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query?name=current.cvd.clamav.net&type=TXT'

There are several DOH severs.

You could also try:

curl -H 'accept: application/dns-json' '
https://dns.google.com/resolve?name=current.cvd.clamav.net&type=A'


... or even just:


curl 'https://dns.google.com/resolve?name=current.cvd.clamav.net&type=A'

You’re just giving your lookup to someone else.

Lol, there is a long thread on mail ops that pretty much says the same. But he asked about checking through a proxy on http protocol so that’s his choice.

Just as a side note now that I’m back to a desktop, I did run FB’s implementation of DoH. It was strictly test based, so not under load, but it did work locally for about 10 PCs: https://github.com/facebookexperimental/doh-proxy <https://github.com/facebookexperimental/doh-proxy>

Sadly, I don’t know of really any local DoH resolvers that can be used to scale, and I honestly don’t think it’ll last as long as I think most people think it will.

That includes typical lookups to DNS servers. One could ask who has access
to each query, what they do with it, how long do they keep it, who else do
they give it to, etc.

What do you think about DNS over TOR?

I’m a fan of using DNS as DNS. There’s several free DNS providers, heck, Cisco owns one. But, I want my DNS traffic (as with all traffic) to be the fastest it can possibly be.

Thank you very much for the quick answer. I had tried using doh-client
btw, which did not work behind a proxy.

I ended up using python to get the string I needed.
That's the start of it:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import requests

proxies = {
"http": "http://10.10.10.10:8000",
"https": "http://10.10.10.10:8000",
}
url='https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query?name=current.cvd.clamav.net&type=TXT'
headers = {'accept': 'application/dns-json'}

requ = requests.get(url, headers=headers, proxies=proxies)
workstring = requ.json()['Answer'][0]['data'].replace('"','')
print(workstring)
